Expression of IncRNA UCA1 in ovarian cancer and its clinical significance
Objectives:
To explore the expression and clinical significance of IncRNA-UCA1 in ovarian cancer.
Materials And Methods:
The ex- pression of IncRNA-UCA1 in 26 ovarian cancer tissue and 16 normal and benign ovarian tissue were detected using qRT-PCR method, and the correlation of expression level with clinicopathological features were analyzed.
Results:
Higher lncRNA-UCA1 expression level were detected in ovarian cancer tissue than those in normal ovarian tissue (p < 0.05). There were significant correlations between higher expression of IncRNA-UCA1 with tumor staging (p = 0.000), histological grades (p = 0.000), peritoneal effusion (p = 0.001), and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.000), but not with age.
Conclusion:
IncRNA-UCA1 may play a vital role in the metastasis of ovarian cancer and it is expected to be a potential novel biomarker and therapeutic target of ovarian cancer.
